Help, all you techies out there. Last night my cat sat on my keyboard (all 24 pounds of him). When I finally dislodged him, I discovered my screen display had rotated 90 degrees. I can't figure out what combination of keys he sat on to cause this, so I can't undo what he did.
Anybody out there know what to do? I'm working on a Dell with Windows XP. And please don't tell me to get a Mac, that would not be very helpful right now.
I duck out for a starbucks for five minutes, and return to some very helpful input! I may not get my computer fixed, but it's sure making my Monday morning alot more fun!
I've played with the monitor controls with no luck. I'll try the desktop properties when I get home, that seems to be perhaps the way to go. Checking with Dell is a good idea too.
In defense of my VK, he may have thought he saw a troll and was trying to squash it to death.
LOL! How did you know is was the orange one that sat on my keyboard?
Okay!
Spyware
CTRL+K
Rotate the image by 90 degrees clockwise.
CTRL+L
Rotate the image by 90 degrees counter-clockwise.
I'll give it a try.
Maybe this only works on pictures...sorry.
Another way to dig into this option is from your bare desktop>>>
display properties>>>
settings>>>
advanced>>>>
geforce4 mx integrated gpu>>>
rotate option will be there.
Thank you!!! I think I'll order 2!
My kids did this to one of our computers last month and the easiest way for me to fix it was to do a system restore to the most recent point available. Go to help and type in restore and that should get you started to walk you through to get things back to normal.
A least that is the way mine works.
I tried your idea with the kid's computer, but they would not move. The only fix for me was a time warp system restore to an earlier date when I knew the computer was working ok. That's about the only thing I like about WinXP.
No, it wasn't just the tray icons, it's the whole darn desktop. I have a picture of Mt. Rainier for my desktop, and it's now lying on its side.
I've got Dell up in another window trying to communicate with them. I had assumed it was a Windows issue, but you all have made me think it may be a Dell problem.
If you repeatedly throw kitty onto the keyboard, maybe it will right itself!
Pick up your monitor and set it back upright....
LOL!
